2018
About the Item
Sandra and the beaks is a unique smoke-fired stoneware and pigments sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 170 × 50 × 54 cm (66.9 × 19.7 × 21.3 in). Dimensions include wooden base.
This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This sculpture shows two birds and a seated woman. Although they don't seem to want to talk to her, their actions are unclear. They are showing signs of both affection and attachment as they seem to want to kiss her, but they are also acting menacingly by putting their beaks dangerously close to her face.
Cécile Raynal uses sculpture as a way of exploring the world, between documentary and fiction. Thus she often sets up her workshop in remote, forgotten or marginal places, that she goes over and then reconstructs in clay. A prison, a retirement home, a hospital, a convent, a cargo-ship… are among the places in which she invites the inhabitants to pose for her, so as to sculpt their portraits and capture these rare encounters.

Cécile Raynal
Whether human or animal, Cécile Raynal’s figures are a way to explore the world. The artist travels to remote, forgotten or marginal places immortalising in clay life stories that she brings back to her studio. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018) and is the subject of ambitious public commissions such as the bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail (France). “The result of chance or sought-after encounters, my work starts with the sculpted portrait, a totemic record of each of these confrontations, and builds itself on the complicity, the exchanges and the correspondence resulting from them.”

Birdcatcher by Cécile Raynal - Standing male figure, ceramic sculpture
By Cécile Raynal
Located in Paris, FR
This piece represents a human figure with a tail and a headdress in feather. In this sculpture the birdcatcher, a man who is catching birds with nets and traps, seems to transform into a bird himself. In recent years, animals have taken an increasingly important place in the artist's production: "All sorts of animals and hybrid forms inhabit my work, chimeras, somewhere between animal and human figures." (Mémoires de Braise, by Cécile Raynal...

Bee bowl
Located in Ciudad de México, MX
Within the framework of a collective and cultural exchange, where the current artistic work needs conscious active voices, Claudio Jerónimo puts on the table an urgent discussion about the sustainability of the vital balance and the essential role of bees to maintain said balance. Communication, relationship, and reciprocal influences of the cycle that sustains life in the world, which in the service of "progress" has been affected by excessive and devastating human activity reaching a point of no return. It is a call to action...
